Standard Tyres vs Winter Tyres

Standard tyres
provide excellent traction in high temperatures and good weather
conditions. As the temperatures and weather conditions deteriorate
towards winter, the traction and performance of standard tyres start to
fall.

Winter tyres
provide more small tread areas, increasing traction on snow and in wet
conditions, allowing better grip and water to escape from under the tyre
more easily. It is highly beneficial to be on the correct type of tyre
at the correct time of year.

Your Winter tyre Questions Answered:

Q: Why buy Winter Tyres?

A:Winter tyres
greatly improve your stopping distances and traction control in
temperatures below 7Â°C. This will enable you to travel safely and at a
reasonable speed in cold, wet, ice and snow conditions.

Q: Are winter tyres expensive?

A: No, Winter tyres
are a very good investment. Whilst you are running your winter tyres,
you are saving tread in your summer tyres and pre-longing their life. By
running the correct tyre throughout the year you are lowering the risk
of damaging your vehicle and the potential costs.

Q: How many Winter tyres should I buy?

A:
We recommend a full set of 4. This will give you good all-round
traction in temperatures below 7Â°C and preserve the life of your summer
tyres. We also recommend buying a wheel & winter tyre package, so you can easily swap your summer and winter tyres without incurring fitting costs each time.

Q: How long will my Winter tyres last?

A: Your Winter tyres
will typically last as long as your summer tyres do, as long as you
change them at the correct time of year. Depending on your milage they
should typically last about 3 years and prelong the life of your summer
tyres.

Q: Will my insurance go up if I fit winter tyres?

A: No. The large majority of main insurers do not charge extra for fitting winter tyres at the correct time of year.

Stopping Distances - Braking at 30mph

A car travelling at 30mph and fitted with winter tyres will stop in
35metres on a winters road while a car fitted with standard tyres will
stop at around 43metres.

The difference could be vital.
